An L.A. bike blog considers John Forester’s vehicular cycling philosophy, calling it the “biggest squandered opportunity for inclusive cycling in the last forty years.”

Josh King, a bike commuter living in Cap Hill, wrote an intriguing list of ten rules he follows when riding. They include rules like, “Obeying traffic rules is not your first priority” and “Don’t signal.” What do you think? (read his justifications first)
